1966 Shelby Cobra
View Description
What could be cooler than the world's best-looking 2-seat roadster, filled with a fuel injected 5. 0-liter V8, a capable suspension, and paint that makes people stop and stare? If you're a real car guy, you've probably already contemplated building your own Cobra replica, but the smart money's on buying someone else's finished car like this amazing Factory Five roadster.
Cobras always look best with stripes and with the explosion of awesome replicas running around, this one stands out in a big way. Pepper Gray never looked so good, with a hint of metallic and professional-grade finishing, the body fits together extremely well (the Factory Five kits are famous for their quality fiberglass work). It isn't perfect, but it's very close, and the paint lays down over some expertly massaged panels and you can't deny the awesomeness of that shape. The body is devoid of any stripes, giving this Factory Five snake a bit of an updated look without changing the recipe too dramatically. This is likely how most of them looked back when they were still just regular cars, and it gets pretty easy to imagine the fun you could be having with this in your garage. Proper jacking...
